Hi everyone,
I have applied for MS in Electrical Engineering but I would like to switch to Computer Science. So I wanted to know the process of doing that. If anyone could provide me the email ID of a person whom I could contact regarding this it would be very helpful.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Jerves,
Thank you for your question. The first thing you should do is contact the department of Computer Science to see if they are still accepting application for their program. In order to “switch” programs you would need to apply, and be accepted to, the department of Computer Science Engineering. Unfortunately, it is very possible that the department will have already filled their class and will no longer be accepting new students for the coming semester. The department’s email address is cse-gradinfo@cse.buffalo.edu
Should you have any other questions please feel free to contact us at gradvant@buffalo.edu
Good luck!

I am applying to the MPH program at UB, and I planned to take the GREs in Turkmenistan tomorrow, where I am a Peace Corps Volunteer. The tests have not arrived in the country, and I will not have the chance to take the test until January or February. Is it possible to have my application reviewed without the GRE score?
Thanks,
KT

Hi KT,
Thank you for your question. The deadline to apply to the MPH program is January 15th. Although this is the date by which the department expects to receive all application materials, including GRE scores, they may be willing to make an exception. Especially since it seems as though you have different circumstances regarding the availability of the GRE exam.
I recommend contacting the School of Public Health at sphhp-mph@buffalo.edu to inquire about this possibility.
Best of luck!

Hi,
I couldn’t find a list of any of the requirements for an English MA. I filled out the application, but I don’t know how and where and to whom do I send my letters of recommendation, my writing samples, or my transcripts. Also, I couldn’t find if the Subject Test was necesary for the English MA.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi, I am a Fall 2010 applicant for the Masters Program in Industrial Engineering at Buffalo. I have already completed my online application and am preparing the rest of the application material to be sent in mail. I know I have to fill the financial ability form and send it with the packet. The form asks for bank statements of my sponsor which he is willing to give. However , I would like to know what are the requirements in this statement ie. whether it should show a closing balance equal to I-20 amount rite now ?? Also whether Fixed Deposits are taken into consideration as financial ability proof ??
Thank You.
Cheers,
Nikhil

Also whether I have to submit original Bank Statements ??
By: Nikhil on November 4, 2009

Hi Nikhil,
Thank you for your question.
As an international applicant, you are required to submit an International Applicant Financial Form (signed by you and your financial sponsor) and a bank statement verifying necessary funds are available to cover your first year of expenses at UB. You can find the exact amounts required at the following link: http://wings.buffalo.edu/intadmit/costgraduate.htm
Both documents must be originals with original signatures.
Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us at gradvant@buffalo.edu!

Yes, you are required to submit the financial documents since they are a part of the application packet and admission processing.

I have dispatched my application materials on October 31st,2009. The courier service (DHL) website is mentioning that my packet has been received by your university on November3rd,2009. However I am not able to see any details about the receipt of my documents in my profile(portal where my the status of my application can be checked).
I have opted of offline submission of Letters of Recommendation and have dispatched them(LORs) along with other application materials. How can I check the receipt of application materials by the university and the completness of my application form

Hi,
I am applying to the MS in Finance program for Fall 2010. I am not sure about how to send my LORs? Do they have to be sent to any paticular email id or is there an online form?
By: swati sharma on November 29, 2009

Hi Swati,
The MS Finance program accepts Letters of Recommendation online. When you have submitted your application for final review, your refereneces will be emailed a request for their letter of recommendation. They can submit their recommendation by accessing the link in their email and completing the online form.
Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us at gradvant@buffalo.edu.

Hola, Has anyone else had trouble getting a response from the ‘Messenges’ tab on the Gradadmit application site? I posted a question on the 27th asking if they’d like a CV along with my application, transcripts, etc…, and have yet to get a response.

Hi Edward,
You might want to try contacting the Graduate School of Education by emailing them at gseinfo@buffalo.edu or 716-645-2110. Some departments do not utilize the GrAdMIT messages feature.
